11.08 this morning most enjoyable interview with Richard Wilford on BBC RADIO WM on the topic of life becoming too busy for manners! re the Mail article I think we need to slow down a wee bit…. that naturally includes me!!

Off to do SKY NEWS to discuss with Jonathan Samuels, whether Text Speak helps or harms the English language! It appears academics insist it does not. They believe emojis, exclamation marks, irregular spellings and abbreviations in text messages are not sloppy or a sign of a decline in written English, according to THE TIMES

With this type of topic, when in doubt I generally ask my friend Gorill!

The miracles of modern Technology!! High above the Autumn leaves of BERLIN I was able to discuss the ever debateable pros & cons of ‘Regifting’ with the effervescent Sally Pepper on her BBC RADIO Derbyshire’s morning programme
